Booked Friday off so I'm going to have that afterparty at the Soup Kitchen... should be a good night.

[majormajormajor]

Having slept on it I don't consider last night to be any less epic than I did walking out of that venue. I used to use that gym when I lived down the road to it a few years back. Didn't remember it being that tiny!

[majormajormajor]

Tickets on sale now for tonight guys...

[evilduck]

Can't find any on ticketmaster. Probably for the best as I've just dropped £90 on bastard Muse.

[majormajormajor]

Some keep going back up for sale.

Last night was nowhere near capacity btw. Could have been like 30% more people, must be licensing laws or something.

So there's definitely a TBC support slot at Manchester -

What do we reckon? Win DJ set? Random local band? An actual surprise?

[Justiceforcedave]

Got myself a little momento! #SETLISTSPOILERS!

Buddy of mine got tickets at 5:30 yesterday fyi for anyone trying today! Awesome gig. Also Mother Kelly's across the road is an excellent place to grab a nice beer before you go in!

Not necessarily a random band as such but I reckon it'll be someone pretty small (and quite possibly local-ish), otherwise they'd be on after Beak surely. 

Hoping they time the setlist well to make use of the full 90 minutes, as I know bands often don't play quite to the curfew to avoid being cut off. No encore would be preferable.

Was that from Ticketmaster?  And how did they find out about them being available?!

Pretty sure I was stood right next to you! A few rows back from the stage as you walk in and a little to the right?

Just keep trying every now and again. I got a couple for a friend at 0930ish.

Yeah, will do that, ta.  Although I hate the CAPTCHA system that TM use with a vengeance.

They just tried on Ticketmaster. They seemed to have been going up randomly

I don't leave work til 6 so it can stay that way!

[Muppetmark]

Absolutely phenomenal tonight, genuinely the best gig of my life Enjoy tomorrow folks  

[John_P]

Can't wait for tomorrow (well today now)! Hoping the atmosphere from these smaller shows can translate to about 8000 people.

And it's today

They really did. Complete surprise 

[blue6field]

What a set list last night !

Wish we'd got that in Edinburgh!!

still a great night though!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Was the Edinburgh gig just a bit out of form for this tour then?  Aint no-one coming out of that calling it the best ever anything.  In fact, I saw 3 gigs that weekend and it wasn't even in the top 2.

[fingers_mark]

It was ridiculously hot in there last night. Made for a fervour. So much fun and very similar to the Sc**thorpe show. Liked the boxing referee call out to start the show.

Don't really get the fuss on Headlights, but it was a nice surprise to hear something different. Not sure how they'll ever top these type of shows/setlists.
